Abstract
Using a guided wave configuration, we demonstrate a novel polyGe-on-Si heterostructure photodetector realized on a silicon-on-insulator by a low deposition temperature process. Without further detector optimization, at 1.55 mu m we measured wall-plug responsivities as high as 15 mA/W with an effective responsivity in excess of 300 mA/W. Device operation was demonstrated up to 2.5 Gbit/s. (C) 2005 American Institute of PhysicsKeywords
